A horseback-riding Baptist Church minister from Canada has arrived in Guadalajara after completing a 9,000-kilometer, year-long fundraising ride from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

Len Crow’s “Pony Express for Orphans” raised over US $120,000 which will support orphanages in five countries — Mexico, India, the Philippines, Guatemala and Cambodia.

It was the sixth such trip since 1996 for the 60-year-old resident of Orillia, Ontario, where he is the founding pastor of the North Country Baptist Church. Accompanied by his wife Nancy driving a truck and trailer, Crow did up to 40 kilometers a day on horseback, riding on secondary roads, trails or highway medians.

Money is raised through donations from supporters who pay between one and 25 cents per kilometer traveled.
